In the bottle, this smelled strongly of jasmine with an edge of something sharp and astringent. Wet, the jasmine was a little more cloying but still spiked by some sort of herbal sharpness -- I don't think it was the lavender, unless Beth's lavender note is *very* different from what I'm used to. There was no musk and no spice at all as far as I could tell. I didn't like that stage at all and was waiting to see what the scent would turn into after drydown, but never got a chance as it vanished completely after less than 20 minutes! No staying power whatsoever on me... which might be just as well, I guess. Not the scent for me, alas!

On me, Bluebeard is almost entirely white musk and violet; on drydown I get the faintest hint of lavender, but not much. Shame, too -- I actually like lavender and would be glad to get the strong lavender results others are posting! It's fading very quickly, leaving just a shadow of powdery musk behind. I'm not sure why, but for some reason this scent reminds me very strongly of Ombre Rose, which I wore in high school. Weird...
